2015 JEEP CHEROKEE Complaints

2015 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR TRANSMISSION, ETC. USING OIL, ( EVAPORATES?) AND IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. CALLED JEEP AND WAS ADVISED TO GET IT INTO SERVICE IMMEDIATELY DUE TO KNOWN ISSUES, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. JEEP HAS BEEN TRYING TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING, AT STOPS, HARD SHIFTS, BRAKE COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY, COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING, AND OIL HAS SOMEHOW DISAPPEARED FROM IT, BUT NO LEAKS.

SERVICE SHIFTER WARNINGS ON & COMPUTER SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING, BEEN HAPPENING OFF & ON SINCE I BOUGHT IN JANUARY 2015 NOW WONT STOP AND CANT GET SERVICE UNTIL OCTOBER 10TH.

THE TRANSMISSION IN OUR VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT UNEXPECTEDLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN AT A RED LIGHT OR DUE TO STOPPED TRAFFIC, BUT DOES NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN WE ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT ACTS LIKE NEUTRAL FOR APPROX. 3 SECONDS THEN SUDDENLY SLAMS ABRUPTLY INTO GEAR. IF THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP IT SEEMS OK. THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO RESET TO 1ST GEAR APPROPRIATELY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE PLUS THE SLAMMING INTO GEAR CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS REPEATEDLY AND CONSISTENTLY DURING THE ABOVE DESCRIBED CONDITION. I HAVE CONTACTED FCA AND SO FAR I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR RESPONSE. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE A CEL ON OR A COMPLETELY DAMAGED TRANSMISSION FOR THEM TO ACT APPROPRIATELY TO REPAIR AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM.

GEAR SHIFTER ERROR AND NOW CANNOT PUT CAR INTO GEAR BATTERY AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT STARTS UP AGAIN. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE. I AM SCARED THAT I WILL LOSE POWER IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING SERVICE SHIFTER AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT TURNED RED. I PULLED OVER, PARKED THE CAR, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE MESSAGE AND THE LIGHTS HAD CLEARED AND WERE OFF. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AFFECTING JEEPS YEARS 2015 AND BEYOND. MANY OTHER OWNERS STATED THAT WE SHOULD ALL REPORT THIS ISSUE TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE, SINCE MANY STATED THAT EVEN AFTER GETTING IT FIXED, IT REMAINS TO BE A PROBLEM. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 4 MTHS AND IT HAD LESS THAN 50K, ON IT WHEN I GOT IT. I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO HAVE MAJOR CAR ISSUES THIS EARLY ON.

GEAR SHIFTER ERROR AND NOW CANNOT PUT CAR INTO GEAR BATTERY AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT STARTS UP AGAIN. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE. I AM SCARED THAT I WILL LOSE POWER IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

GEAR SHIFTER ERROR AND NOW CANNOT PUT CAR INTO GEAR CAR GETS STUCK IN NEUTRAL FOR ABOUT 5-10 BEFOR I CAN SWITCH TO OTHER GEAR BATTERY AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT STARTS UP AGAIN. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE. I AM SCARED THAT I WILL LOSE POWER IN A REMOTE LOCATION OR IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE APPEARS ON DISPLAY + PRND LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT THE GEARSHIFT. MESSAGE WILL NOT GO AWAY AND REMAINS ON ENTIRE TIME I WAS DRIVING. HAD SIMILAR ISSUE 2X COUPLE YEARS AGO???

GEAR SHIFTER ERROR AND NOW CANNOT PUT CAR INTO GEAR. HAPPED THE FIRST TIME WHILE DRIVING AND DASH LIGHTS BEGAN BLINKING. STOPPED AND PUT CAR INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AND IT SEEMED OK. STARTED GIVING ERROR AGAIN TODAY AND NOW WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO CAUSE THIS.

"SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME ON SCREEN AND ALL GEARS (PRDN) LIGHT UP RED. VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP IN MIDDLE OF TWO WAY TRAFFIC. THEN, ANOTHER MESSAGE APPEARED "TO SHIFT VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED" AND ENGINE CUT OFF AFTER CAN NO LONGER ACCELERATE. HAVE TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND TURN IT BACK ON BY REMOVING KEY COMPLETELY FROM IGNITION AND STARTING IT AGAIN. VERY SCARY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. FIRST TIME, IT WAS INSIDE OF A PARKING LOT DRIVING IN CIRCLES LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT. SECOND TIME WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A TWO WAY INTERSECTION...CAR STOPPED MIDWAY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THIRD TIME WAS ALSO TURNING LEFT (COINCIDENTAL) AFTER CROSSING OVER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND SAFELY REACHED THE STREET I WAS TURNING INTO, BUT VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN COMPLETELY IN TRANSIT TO SAID STREET AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE...WAS GOING AT A BASE SPEED OF MAYBE 3-5 MPH. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP FIRST TIME AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SYSTEM UPDATE ISSUE. IT WAS NOT BECAUSE ISSUE OCCURED AGAIN. CAR IS IN SHOP AGAIN NOW AND THEY SAID HAVE TO REPLACE PRNDL SWITCH. NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS. I SAW A RECALL DONE FOR A VERY SIMILAR ISSUE ON THE 2014-2015 JEEP CHEROKEE, RECALL CODE IS CHRYSLER S55. BUT DEALER SAID MY CAR IS NOT A PART OF THAT RECALL. PLEASE RESEARCH ISSUE. I HAVE COME ACROSS 30+ FORUMS ONLINE WHERE 2015 JEEP CHEROKEES ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME "SERVICE SHIFTER" ISSUE. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL DONE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF ISSUE. PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME FOR MORE INFO.
